About The Lounge Lizards

Craig Schrolucke and Alexis Larsen are good buddies who love a trendy hot spot as much as they do a worn out hole in the wall provided the service is as good as the items being served up. They also love bar talk and all that it entails and are more than happy to belly up to this bar blog and do just that.

What are your weekend plans?

By alarsen | Friday, May 16, 2008, 06:00 AM

There’s so much going on this weekend in Dayton that it’s borderline crazy. Here are just a few things I’m looking forward to:

Brew Ha-Ha at Urban Nights … It will be at Dave Hall Plaza - 4th & Jefferson streets behind the Crowne Plaza. In addition to laughs, there will be 14 Beers to Sample: Bass Ale, Beach Bum Blonde Ale, Boddington, Bud Light Lime, Landshark, Redbridge, Red Hook ESB, Red Hook IPA, Shock Top, Stella Artois, Stone Mill Organic, Tennents, Widner & Wild Blue. $1 for a sample or $3 for a glass. Here are some other things to see at Urban Nights while you’re there. After I’ve checked out Urban Nights, A World A’Fair is happening at the Dayton Convention Center, 22 E. Fifth St. There’s sure to be many delicious dishes there to greet me when I walk in, and we all know a snack is a good idea after a few libations.

Saturday morning I plan to get my shop on at the Springfield Antique Show and Flea Market at the Clark County Fairgrounds off Interstate 70 in Springfield. About 2,500 dealers will be at one of the biggest sales events in this part of the country. Hours are noon to 6 p.m. Friday, May 16; 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 17; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, May 18. Admission is $5.

Lastly, I’m very excited about Young @ Heart finally opening in the Dayton market. In fact, I blogged about the film that proves rock ‘n’ roll will never die in April - see the clip for yourself here and find out why I’m so very, very excited. While I’m at the Neon I may try and check out the African World Film Festival also happening this weekend. Four African films, including the 2006 Academy Award winner “Tsotsi,” will be presented Friday, May 16, through Sunday, May 18, at the Neon Movies, 130 E. Fifth St., Dayton.

Chiefwino is right (see comments) … there’s plenty more happening this weekend including Hamvention at Hara, Dayton Dragons games, the Air Force Band of Flight’s annual Glenn Miller concert, the Fleurs de Fete at Carillon park and performances downtown of “Shenandoah” at the Victoria Theatre and “Verdi’s Requiem” at the Schuster Center.

Downtown and surrounding areas are sure to be hoppin’ this weekend and I can’t wait to be part of it! If you care to share what’s on your schedule we’d love to hear it. Hope to see you out and about.

An Excuse to Celebrate

Mad Hatter Day

Mad Hatter Day is a day to do and say things that are usually considered absurd, but acutally are very logical; and to avoid things that are considered normal, but are acutally quite ludicrous. Kinda confusing, so today it should make perfect sense. Celebrate this mad holiday by doing…pretty much whatever you want. Things to do »

'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist'[movies]

Tell me if you've seen this one — Michael Cera plays a slightly awkward, heartbroken young guy amidst a bunch of drunken partygoers … antics ensue. Although the plot doesn't stray too far from Superbad, this comedy about one hilarious, sleepless night of adventure in a world of mix tapes, and loud, live music should be worth a few laughs at Cera's expense.More »

The Melting Pot in Washington Twp. [review]

The Melting Pot, Washington Township, Ohio

Whether you're looking for a new spot for a date, a night out with the girls or whatever, The Melting Pot offers delicious fondue fun for everyone at its first area location in Washington Twp. The Melting Pot's fondue dining concept is certainly distinctive. Here, the diners are the chefs. For chocolate enthusiasts — and my sense is, there are many of you — dessert here is a gooey slice of heaven. More »
